Rohanna- Lee Henry, Camerin Gedris, and Britton Maranto.

I (Nicole Willis) had the opportunity to interview three PVHS students about their taste in music. I found that students from a variety of backgrounds had interesting things to say about what they listen to, and why they do so. I had a chance to listen to some of the songs they mentioned, and was not disappointed.

I first interviewed a cheerleader, on the yearbook committee, who’s in her junior year of high school.

TTW: What’s your name?

BM: “Britton Maranto.”

TTW: Are you involved in any extracurriculars at PVHS?

BM: “Cheer and Link Crew!”

TTW: What’s your favorite genre of music? Why?

BM: “Alternative pop mostly. Because I like the groovy, but upbeat songs that aren’t super mainstream.

TTW: Does the music your parents listen to have an affect on your music taste? What do your parents music listen to?

TTW: What’s your favorite song that wasn’t released in this century, why?

“ “At Last” by Etta James. She has such a soulful, luscious voice & the composition is so rich with a unique style. I love hearing an orchestra in popular music. The song just hits in a different way.”

TTW: What is one of your favorite sad songs, why?

“One of my favorite sad songs is “Impossible” by Shontelle, because it’s one of those songs that you can belt at the top of your lungs.”

TTW: Is music an important part of your life? In what way does it affect you?

“Music is something that defines me as a person. It’s in my family, everyone sings, or plays an instruments, and it makes me feel blessed to be able to experience it and share it with others.”

TTW: Someone hands you aux cord – what song do you play first, why?

“An early 2000’s hit, because everyone will know it- we’ll all be dancing, singing to a bop, and we’ll connect on a nostalgic level.”
